'Truly a wonderful, engaging and learned account, beautifully produced.' (Celeste Brusati, Department of Art History, University of Michigan)

'One of those rare texts that works splendidly for both the specialist and the novice. Belkin's logical, lucid presentation of information is exemplary.' (Susan Koslow, Department of Art History, City University of New York)

'Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing.' (Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London)

'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
